NAB 2007 Question

[Emanuel A.]

All my money will be addressed to RED and to accessorize it! I left other routes away. And with me, there are still more three professionals since last April 25th. Giving all our hopes in this bet -- my fault, I should confess. And my belief beyond my faith too. Ours.

Red guys,

What days will you be presenting the big news? I need to book my hotel..

-T-Hanks

Just curious, which hotel are you booking? As I also wants to book one, but not sure which one.

Thanks,
antoine

I think most on this forum are atuned to what is up...
I still mention RED to my buddies and they are shocked...
Especially the ones that have HDCAM's.....

For those that do not like casinos and prefer a more sedate NAB...

My personal favorite is the Alexis Park. www.alexispark.com. No casino suite hotel. But... it's right across from the Hard Rock. So, you can enjoy a quiet evening at the circular bar at The Hard Rock, then heel-toe it back to the hotel.

But - it's a different perspective on the show when you're working it. Demo and meeting-duty working a show-floor booth at NAB is brutal. Nothing quite as challenging as meetings with sober executives at 9AM on the show floor after an ugly night.

This is why ASSIMILATE has suites in the Renaissance for demos... bloody marys and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.

Anyone know anything about this "Exploring Field Production with Red Digital Cinema" workshop at NAB Post-production conference?

[Carlo Rho]

I'll come from Spain to NAB to see our little girl for real... I've got a couple of questions because I never been there:
Is it enough 2 days to visit NAB?
There will be any other RED presentation/meeting/party after the 1st day?

Thanks a lot!
Ciao Carlo

Carlo,

I've traveled from New Zealand twice for the show. If you can only manage 2 days make it the Wednesday and Thursday. Most of the US visitors hit the show on Monday and Tuesday making for a very crowded event. On Wednesday and especially Thursday the crowds have thinned. On Thursday the booth operators are in better humor too as the end is in sight and are more willing to give a bit more of their time for questions. If you're lucky you can sometimes pickup an item at a Ex Show or demo price.

Don't under estimate the time it takes to get to and from the show.

In your case, why not wait for IBC?

[Rob Lohman]

If you come all the way from Spain I would go to the entire event. Allows you to adjust and spread the stuff out over multiple days. It's a bit bigger than IBC.

There's enough to do and see in Vegas besides NAB if you want to get away from the show floor!

p.s. flying from Europe to California / Nevada or reverse tends to keep you up for 24 hours, I'm glad if I can stay for a week or two before doing it again :)

[Corrado Silveri]

Sorry guys,

any suggestions for the Hotel in Vegas?
I'm thinking about coming to NAB fo the very first time.

Please, help me...

We booked at the Best Western Mardi Gras, just about a 3 minute walk to the Convention Center. Never have stayed there before though, so... :) Nice not to have to worry about a car and parking though!
